Paul Pogba Sends Supportive Message to France Ahead of Crucial Match Against Croatia
As France prepares to host Croatia in the second leg of their Nations League quarter-final tonight at the Stade de France, midfielder Paul Pogba has expressed his unwavering support for the national team. Pogba took to social media, writing:
"Always behind you brothers! Shine in that jersey like you know how to. Allez les Bleus!"
In the first leg on March 20, Croatia secured a 2-0 victory over France in Split, with goals from Ante Budimir and Ivan Perisic. Despite the return of key players Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé, France struggled to capitalize on scoring opportunities, leaving them with a two-goal deficit to overcome in the return fixture.
Notably, Pogba's absence from the national team in recent years has been due to an 18-month doping suspension, which concluded in March 2025. The suspension was reduced from an initial four-year ban after the Court of Arbitration for Sport deemed the ingestion of the prohibited substance unintentional. Pogba's return to professional football has been highly anticipated, with discussions about his potential reintegration into both club and national teams.
